    As a former competitive tennis player, stringing makes a big difference in how the racket feels and behaves. A good string job gives you more confidence because the ball feels better after coming off the racket. Hard to explain if you haven't played a lot, but this is certainly a factor

    • @helmeteye
      @helmeteye 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The balance and weight of a racket are very important. Of instance, if you buy a racket at Wal-Mart the racket is half the weight of a good racket. Almost all pros modify their racket. When you see players playing with rackets that look like those in the store, you are seeing what is called a paintjob. The biggest mod for Djokovic's racket was to add length.

  • @patricklustado433
    @patricklustado433 5 ปีที่แล้ว +197

    As someone who strings their own racquets, Roman Prokes and Ron Yu are my absolute idols in racquet customization.
    It must be known that pros do not get the same retail racquets available to the public and that when they "switch" racquets, they are switching the paint jobs that while keeping the racquet the same.
    If players were constantly changing racquets every year, their shots would be different even with the same specs due to the mold of the racquet. However, Federer is the one of the few who changes their racquets, but he has a lot of feedback that influences the retail racquet. This is evident when Wilson the all black Prostaff RF 97A but when the "tuxedo" colorway came out, he was dissatisfied and changed back to the all black. This was because the molds were different.

      @sidhanthmishra8488 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The mindset of Japanese athletes is so different from the rest of the world. Smashing rackets for them as a release of frustration and the makers of the tennis racket and people who string them consider it as source of income and more money. In Japan the athletes consider destroying of sports equipment as disrespectful to the people who makes the equipment. Suzuki Ichiro one time broke his baseball bat out of frustration. He latter apologize to the maker of the bat and never did it again.

    Federer is going to be here in Ecuador the 24th of November for a match. But they say in Quito. That is serious elevation, over 9000ft. . It will be interesting to see how he plays. I trust this gentleman will be with him. Welcome to Ecuador.

    2:08 Kind of arrogant to say that. I'm sure there are pros like Medvedev who don't care at all who strings their racket. And yes, even I feel the difference. I'm playing tennis since I was 3 years old. It takes me less than 15 minutes minutes to adapt to it. So I'm sure a pro can do it in less than 5. The do that, because they can never blame the strings or the racket. It's literally just a mental thing.

      Maybe you should credit Dimitrov for hanging tough in that 4th set and saving those breakpoints? He made Roger work for them and Roger missed. Maybe you can also see the extended highlights to appreciate how hard grigor pushed fed physically. Except set 1 which was a typical grigor choke the match was hard fought. Period.

Silver level is only stringing at majors and ATP 1000

    • @jaysean9589
      @jaysean9589 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe that was to spec it differently? But yeah there is a discrepancy threshold. 9 grams isn't bad. I think that was for matching swing weight though. Not just weight. That's why it was in such a specific spot and then shaved later.

    • @miguelbarahona6636
      @miguelbarahona6636 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not only 9.1 grams less, because Novak adds 2 overgrips, that's 12 grams more in the handle. Total 21.1 grams added to the original frame. Considering they haven't added silicone inside the handle, wich is a common practice between pros.

All marketing hype gimmicks. Doesn't matter anyways, what matters is what racket feels closest to an extension of our arm, then focus on other more important things (technique, footwork, etc.) to play better tennis
